AI Thread Summary
Recent advancements in solving the Three Body Problem have emerged, particularly through the use of deep artificial neural networks (DNNs). A notable article published in Nature discusses a statistical approach to this complex problem, while a preprint on arXiv presents another group's findings using similar DNN techniques. However, the term "solved" may be misleading, as these methods provide approximate solutions rather than definitive answers. The DNNs are designed to replicate the functions generated by numerical integrators, resulting in a constant-computational cost for these approximations. Overall, these developments represent significant progress in the field of celestial mechanics.

"Solved" is maybe too strong a word for that paper... DNN's are trained to approximate the functions produced by numerical integrators. This leads to a constant-computational cost approximate solution. As far as I can tell anyways...

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
